.COFFEE-POT.

` SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 224,822, dated February 24, 1880.

A Application filed July 28, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JOHN E. FINLEY, of

` Memphis, in the State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements` in Coffee-Pots; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descrip tion thereof, reference bein g had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters ot' reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, and in which the figure is a central vertical section of a coffee-pot having my improvement attached.

rlhe nature ot' my improvement consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of the parts hereinafter mentioned, and which will be more specifically set forth in the cla-im.

To enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction.

A represents the coffee-pot, made in the usual manner and provided with top B. D is the holder, which is simply an open-ended cyl inder Haring outwardly toward the top, and provided 'with a rim which rests upon the mouth of the coftee-pot and prevents the holder from slipping' too far down. The lower end of this' holder is provided with an inwardly-projecting,` flange, d.

E is the coffee-receptacle, and is a cylindrical` box, open at the top, which is formed with an outward ange, e, resting` upon the flange d and holding the box orreceptacle oft' the bottom. This coffee-holder is perforated upon the bottom and sides, to allow the steam and 35 water to filter through and act upon the cotfee contained therein. It is also provided with a Wire bail,f, by which it may be lifted out.

G is a perforated metal shield or strainer, hinged at its upper edge, as seen in the draw- 4o ing, so that by its own gravity it will cover therinner end of the spout g, and may be readily raised when cleaning the coft'eefpot, in order to wash both sides of the strainer.

All the parts of my invention may readily 45 be detached for cleaning.

lam fully aware thatit is not new to suspend a perforated coffee-receptacle within a coffeepot, and hence do not claim such, broadly, as my invention; but

What I do claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, With a coffee-pot, of the holder D, formed with an external ange at its top and internal flange, d, at its bottom, 55 the detachable perforated cup E, having flan ge e, and bail f, all constructed and arranged as herein described.

JOHN E. FINLEY.
